RecoverToy has been in the process of migrating to a new store and the current store is to be closed.

That change will occur on 30th April 2025.

The current store will remain as-is but no new orders will be processed. The site will remain as read-only for the forseeable future in order to allow for customers to review their orders and for us to finalise open orders during May 2025.

Our new store is open for business and we have been processing orders there for a few months while testing and confirming that things are working as expected.

Please check out the new store and let us know if anything is not working. We still have a lot of stock items to add to the new store which will be done over the next month or so. If you cannot find an item then send us a message with our contact page.

The RecoverToy Website and our store site are getting old, just like the operators!

We are not stopping anytime soon, but it is time for a change with the websites.

Our existing RecoverToy Store is still operating and will do some for some time while we complete our migration to a shiny new store.

Some changes are coming soon and from early next week, this information part of the site will be migrated to the new platform. In that site we will be able to provide more information about the toys that we all love to collect, repair and restore.

Our current shop site will remain active for some months to come and you will be able to continue ordering through that site with your existing accounts. No change there at the moment.

Our new RecoverToy Shop is ready for transactions and you can use it now. You will need to register a new account with the new store.

So what is different ?

The main difference is the technology and the goals of the change are numerous but the most apparent changes that impact you as customers are:

• Stock Control
• Better product presentation with images and product information
• Improved payment options

Key points:

Stock Control means that we have a centralised count of our stock, which we have not had in 25 years of trading.

Stock Control means that the new store will not accept orders for items that are not in stock. We will offer a ‘Wish List’ option see you can let us know what we need to get for you, without requiring a payment up front.

Of course, we are trying hard to be accurate with stock, but to give you an idea of the metrics, we list over 5,000 product lines. So far in our manual transition to the new store, we have manually entered 3,000 products, ensuring product details are accurate and photos. As a part of that we have counted over 25,000 individual items and we are only around 50% done. It is going to take us a while longer.

Will we get it 100% accurate? Probably not. The items are frequently too small and easily dropped then lost.

Please have a look at the new RecoverToy site and store. Feel free to send us some feedback via our contact form.

We are really looking forward to being able to manage our stock and your orders.

Thanks for your ongoing support in our 25th year.
